Although I got the slightly smaller one, with a lower back. It’s nothing special but it’s light enough to carry around on the Wednesday/Thursday before the music starts properly and is more comfortable than sitting directly on the ground.

This one? https://amzn.eu/d/0IQgyyY That's certainly a lot more budget friendly, the other was looking a bit more than I'd want on something I could lose or break. I have a very small fishing stool, which I've used for years and whilst it's far less comfy it does have the singular advantage that it's very small and unobtrusive, so doesn't hog any crowd space.

Fold up in your day bag and you can use them inside tents like Cabaret/Leftfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwbdtour Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 Just dug my 3 man Quechua tent out and gave it a go. Never even used it so needed to see what it was like. Tent - sorted ✅ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathmetalkevin Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 Quick question re: National Express coaches, are they likely to add any more from London? Wednesday coaches are near enough completely sold out, my fault for booking late but still seems surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulshane Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 new boots just arrived: my old 'Dunlop' steel toecaps are very unwaterproof these days, having done many festivals. Got these a half size up so I can multi-sock with a hope of avoiding blisters. got them here: https://www.expresstrainers.com/karrimor-premium-bodmin-mid-iv-waterproof-mens-22617-800-p.php further discount if you make an account etc, I paid £34 delivered. Of course, if the weather is agreeable, I'll be in my trainers anyway 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got shed loads of beads and gems to do the same with all our old glasses.

Jay Pee Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 Purchased some solid wheels for my new "Carp Trolley". It is the first time I have driven to the festival and as I am on site for ten days I'm pushing the boat out and bringing some creature comforts. Camp cot / moon chair etc. Will send a pic of the transport. It looks robust and perfect for the job but felt it necessary to upgrade the suspension. Just didn't want to trust pneumatic tyres and flimsy split pins. Attention to detail. Fishing kit is built to last. Even for none fishing folk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix Girl Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 How dare they Crazyfool. I bought some lovely tequilas from the Whisky Exchange in London ready to soak in pineapple. Which is generous of me (even if I do say so myself), because I won’t actually be drinking it myself but I love offering it round to unsuspecting friends and strangers in my little set of metal shot glasses.

MEGATRONICMEATWAGON Posted April 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 Bought a new rain poncho this evening. I'm trying to only buy practical things because I have to fly there and back, but also, I just don't want to keep wasting money and only using stuff a couple of times. I've had those little plastic bag type ponchos before and they've always ended up in a bin after just one festival, so hopefully this will be more useful, and I can keep it on me when I commute to work or go for long walks.
